DSR Guide (pdf)
The inspection program for implementation by Departmental Safety Representatives (DSRs) includes a focus inspection process in which selected topics will be presented on a quarterly basis. This will replace the quarterly use of a complete inspection checklist such as the one which had been used for Offices and Laboratories. However, if a department has generated an inspection form utilizing these checklists, and wish to continue using their forms, then this may continue, and the focus inspection forms will not be required for this application. The program and forms to be used for the Focus Inspection process will be presented and reviewed at the quarterly DSR meetings. The Focus Inspection Forms to be used are as follows:
Focus Inspection - Biohazards/Sharps
Focus Inspection - Housekeeping
Focus Inspection - Fire Safety
Focus Inspection - Hazardous Waste
Focus Inspections – Electrical
Focus Inspections – Personal Protective Equipment
Focus Inspection - Chemical Storage
Focus Inspection – Eyewash, Drench Hose, and Safety Showers
Focus Inspection - Refrigerators and Freezers

I love the concept of this Frog museum located in Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland. The museum is brilliantly random and very strange, but that is what makes is so appealing. With 150-year-old satirical tableaus of domestic life recreated with stuffed frogs, who wouldn't want to visit?
The museum started in the 1850s with an eccentric Napoleonic guard officer who, simply put, loved frogs.
Although interesting, there is something quite unsettling about stuffed frogs playing snooker.

New Russian Law To Forbid Storing Russians' Data Outside the Country
Re:Still missing the point (206 comments)
Right. However, if you're not a US Person (i.e. if you don't have US Citizenship or a Permanent Resident Permit), there's no due process for you as well: NSA can access your GMail account without a warrant, because, well, you'd be a foreigner in their eyes, and foreigners are NOT protected by US laws in this area. No FISA court for you, comrade! That's the point: in Russia, they may pretend to follow due process (even if they don't), in the US, they don't even pretend to follow due process if you're no US Person. That's why some States are considering encouraging their citizens to move their personal data out of the US cloud.

Top 8 Reasons Online Dating Is Great
4. Practice makes perfect. As they say, practice makes perfect and nowhere is this mantra truer than with dating. There's an art to flirting, an art to chatting someone up. An art to going in for the kiss and to denying access to your chambers. Or, alternatively, giving them the green light. It makes it that much easier on a real date if you've had a series of "fake" dates to bone up on your skills. One Night Stand Dos And Don'ts
5. You don't have to be too serious... About this date or any others, whether they began online or off. Really, if you haven't dated for a while, when that chance finally comes up sometimes it's hard keeping it from becoming more than it really is. Having recently been on a series of dates, and with numerous ones scheduled on the horizon, helps take the pressure off and stress out of a "real" date. Likewise, it gives you alternative ways to spend your post-date time rather than counting down the days, hours or minutes to when he calls you back. 5 Ways To Turn Down A Second Date
6. Bringing dating back. Once upon a time people used to date. Your parents might have told you about it, it was nice: A fella' picked you up, you went out for a shake and some putt-putt, you talked, maybe necked. You went out on more dates. You got to know each other. Maybe it went somewhere, maybe it didn't. The plus side is that you got to know someone and they got to know you. And in times like this, it really is nice to make that human connection. What's more, casual dating allows you to entertain multiple men at the same time without the stigma of being called a slut. Limiting your romantic pursuits to weekend hookups is a dead end. Give yourself choices in who you date, what you do, and where you meet them. 25 Dating Dos And Don'ts
7. It can often mean a free meal. Alright, so maybe this is a bit amoral and regressive, but hey, it's true. Despite recessionary economics, a guy will still likely pay for a drink or two—just make sure you don't treat them like a meal ticket. One Love Buzz writer has this to say about it:
I'll go out with most people online, provided they seem normal and I think I could manage a decent conversation with them. And why not? I'm completely broke! It beats sitting at home watching Hulu. As a girl online, you'll find yourself barraged by men. Why not take a few up? So they might not be your Adonis, but why not meet up for some free beers, appetizers and conversation?
8. You just might meet someone. With the laws of statistics on your side, why go against the flow? You create your own luck, and waiting around for Mr. Right to find you is so over. Proof That Online Dating Works

Daughters butcher is terrible, unless you plan on feasting on squeezed juice drinks. Portions are cocktail food size, and food flavor is non-existent. Potato wedges tasted like cardboard.

I really did! But I can't. I just can't. The juices and smoothies (overpriced, but average in comparison to the trendy cold-pressed juice places these days) were good, and the space is lovely, especially if you nab a window seat. But the service and food in here really left something to be desired. The spacey, clueless host/waitress ignored us after handing us menus, and we had to flag her down 15 minutes later to place our order after multiple attempts. The portions were small and not necessarily delicious. She didn't check back to see how we were enjoying our food, or if we needed anything, and we had to flag her down again for the check -- even though the restaurant is small and wasn't busy. Maybe they just need to work out some kinks...

St. Luke's Hospital Warns of Possible Scam
St. Luke's Hospital is warning folks in Cedar Rapids of a possible scam.
Officials say people are posing as representatives from the hospital's Lifeline program, knocking on doors, and asking individuals to sign up for their security system.
St. Luke's says the hospital is not affiliated with any of these traveling salespeople and never trys to sell policies door-to-door.
Lifeline is a personal alert system aimed at seniors and home-bound individuals.
A witness told St. Luke's about the potential scam, after they say they were visited by a "Lifeline" salesperson.
The hospital has filed a report with the Cedar Rapids Police Department.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is baptizing and making more disciples than John" | 1 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, |
2 (though Jesus himself didn't baptize them -- his disciples did). | 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. |
3 So he left Judea to return to Galilee. | 3 When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. |
4 He had to go through Samaria on the way. | 4 Now he had to go through Samaria. |
5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. | 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. |
6 Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. | 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. |
7 Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink." | 7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" |
8 He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. | 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) |
9 The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?" | 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. ) |
10 Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water." | 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." |
11 "But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket," she said, "and this is a very deep well. Where would you get this living water? | 11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? |
12 And besides, are you greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his cattle enjoyed?" | 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?" |
13 Jesus replied, "People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water. | 13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, |
14 But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life." | 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." |
15 "Please, sir," the woman said, "give me some of that water! Then I'll never be thirsty again, and I won't have to come here to haul water." | 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water." |
16 "Go and get your husband," Jesus told her. | 16 He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back." |
17 "I don't have a husband," the woman replied. Jesus said, "You're right! You don't have a husband -- | 17 "I have no husband," she replied. Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. |
18 for you have had five husbands, and you aren't even married to the man you're living with now." | 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true." |
19 "Sir," the woman said, "you must be a prophet. | 19 "Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. |
20 So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?" | 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem." |
21 Jesus replied, "Believe me, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem. | 21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. |
22 You Samaritans know so little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. | 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. |
23 But the time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship him that way. | 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. |
24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." | 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." |
25 The woman said, "I know the Messiah will come -- the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us." | 25 The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us." |
26 Then Jesus told her, "I am the Messiah!" | 26 Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he." |
27 Just then his disciples arrived. They were astonished to find him talking to a woman, but none of them asked him why he was doing it or what they had been discussing. | 27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?" |
28 The woman left her water jar beside the well and went back to the village and told everyone, | 28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, |
29 "Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Messiah?" | 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ ?" |
30 So the people came streaming from the village to see him. | 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him. |
31 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus to eat. | 31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something." |
32 "No," he said, "I have food you don't know about." | 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about." |
33 "Who brought it to him?" the disciples asked each other. | 33 Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?" |
34 Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. | 34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. |
35 Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest. | 35 Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. |
36 The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! | 36 Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. |
37 You know the saying, 'One person plants and someone else harvests.' And it's true. | 37 Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. |
38 I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and you will gather the harvest." | 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor." |
39 Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, "He told me everything I ever did!" | 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did." |
40 When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay at their village. So he stayed for two days, | 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. |
41 long enough for many of them to hear his message and believe. | 41 And because of his words many more became believers. |
42 Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe because we have heard him ourselves, not just because of what you told us. He is indeed the Savior of the world." | 42 They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world." |
43 At the end of the two days' stay, Jesus went on into Galilee. | 43 After the two days he left for Galilee. |
44 He had previously said, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own country." | 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.) |
45 The Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen all his miraculous signs. | 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they also had been there. |
46 In the course of his journey through Galilee, he arrived at the town of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in the city of Capernaum whose son was very sick. | 46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. |
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea and was traveling in Galilee, he went over to Cana. He found Jesus and begged him to come to Capernaum with him to heal his son, who was about to die. | 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death. |
48 Jesus asked, "Must I do miraculous signs and wonders before you people will believe in me?" | 48 "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe." |
49 The official pleaded, "Lord, please come now before my little boy dies." | 49 The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies." |
50 Then Jesus told him, "Go back home. Your son will live!" And the man believed Jesus' word and started home. | 50 Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed. |
51 While he was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well. | 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. |
52 He asked them when the boy had begun to feel better, and they replied, "Yesterday afternoon at one o'clock his fever suddenly disappeared!" | 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour." |
53 Then the father realized it was the same time that Jesus had told him, "Your son will live." And the officer and his entire household believed in Jesus. | 53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed. |
54 This was Jesus' second miraculous sign in Galilee after coming from Judea. | 54 This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee. |

Movement Possible in Jefferson Co. Bankruptcy
This could be an important week in Jefferson County's attempt to emerge from the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Al.com (http://bit.ly/Vzd38I ) reports that the county commission president and another commissioner will be in New York for meetings with hedge fund managers as they try to negotiate a deal.
On Wednesday, a federal bankruptcy judge in Birmingham will begin a hearing on a request by creditors who want to go to state court seeking rate increases for sewer service in Jefferson County.
The county commission approved rate increases last year, but lenders say the hikes should have been larger.
The county filed the largest municipal bankruptcy ever in November 2011, citing more than $4 billion in debt. Much of the debt is linked to corrupt deals involving sewer financing.

Windows cannot be installed to this disk
I am trying to install Win 7 64-bit to a Toshiba Satellite A655-S6050 latptop. The hard drive is a new, bare metal 320 GB Western Digital 5400 RPM. I have tried booting using standard Win 7 OEM dvd, an upgrade OEM and a Toshiba Win 7 upgrade. I have used these disks numerable times in the past in other installations without a problem. When the "Windows cannot be installed to this disk." message is clicked on, it says "This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the BIOS." I have chosen Set to default setup in the BIOS (which gives AHCI as default) and tried the Compatibility setting as well as the AHCI. I have tried manually creating partitions under Custom setup. The drive shows up in the BIOS. I have tried other hard drives with same result. I have also tried using external DVD drive (in addition to the internal dvd drive) that has never failed me in the past. The original problem with this machine was that, when booting it would go directly to attempt to repair Windows, which would fail. Could not start in safe mode either.
I'm a tech with many years experience, and I'm at a loss. Feel free to embarrass me with a solution. I'd be grateful. I'd also like to know if you don't have an answer either. Thanks. |

There could be something wrong with the disk controller. There are disk controller diagnostic tools on the web. You would have to find one that applies to your system and can be run off a cd or stick.

If your HD passes the suggested HD Diagnostic CD scan, then:
Unplug all other HD's and peripherals, Boot into BIOS setup, reset to defaults, save changes. If an EFI BIOS you'll need to decide if you want UEFI BIOS vs. Legacy BIOS. If UEFI follow these special steps for Install, otherwise enable Legacy BIOS or Compatibility Support Module to proceed with normal install: Set DVD drive first to boot, HD second, set SATA controller to AHCI, Save changes and Exit. Then boot into Windows 7 installer DVD or flash stick burned or written using tool and latest ISO for your licensed OS version here. I would use a fresh ISO written with tool in Step 2 as yours is in question. At first installer screen Press Shift + F10, or enter System Recovery Options to open a Command Box, type: DISKPART LIST DISK SELECT DISK 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #) CLEAN CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7" ACTIVE EXIT EXIT Next click Install Now, then Custom install to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message. In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail. After install you can adjust partition size or Create new partitions for data, etc. in Disk Mgmt. You are creating the partition here for the purpose of wiping the HD and marking Active which overcomes certain install failures. |

In today's competitive global economy, procurement and materials management must continually strive for superior performance. Benchmarking focuses on improving performance by understanding current processes and practices, then proactively searching for and incorporating the beat from industry leaders.
Benchmarking has been a "hot" topic over the past few years as companies
are driven by global competition, the desire for breakthrough improvements and
the push to receive quality awards from both governments and customers.
Successful benchmarking results are found in companies such as XEROX, Ford
Motor, Motorola, AT&T, Texas Instruments, and others. Benchmarking is used to
increase quality and productivity, by striving to become the "best of the
best." But exactly what is benchmarking, what can you expect to achieve and
how can it be applied to procurement and materials management?
One definition of benchmarking is -- a process of continuous search for
the best processes or practices, then adaptation and implementation of these
processes/practices to become "best in class." Three key words are process,
implementation and continuous. Benchmarking is a process with an output, and
input and the steps to move from one to the other.
Adaptation and implementation are key to obtaining results. Many companies stop at "industrial tourism", visiting other facilities to get a broad overview rather than focusing on one area or process. Only by comparing the information obtained with in-house data, analyzing how to implement and then following through can success be obtained.
The last key word is continuous because the process never ends. Once your function or process becomes the benchmark, then it is the target for others to "best." In addition, once the benchmarking process is learned, it becomes easier and can become a way of life.
There are three general benefits. The first is improvement in meeting
customer requirements. If a practice is benchmarked it is because it best
satisfies a customer need - if customers did not prefer benchmark practices,
then they wouldn't be benchmarked. The second is the ability to set goals and
measure. This involves a thorough understanding of your own process in order
to accurately compare with others. This is a critical step in the process and
certainly one which is difficult. Many companies have never identified their
processes except by "gut" feel. With this step you can assess where you are
in comparison to the benchmark (gap analysis) and set goals to move ahead.
The third is learning and implementing creative and innovative ideas from customers, suppliers, competitors and other industries. This, added with the good ideas of internal employees, will help to make your company more competitive.
Bringing in ideas from a wide variety of sources leads to four types of
The degree of difficulty in obtaining data increases as one goes down the list. the broader the scope, the greater the chance to pick up innovative ideas. This is especially true with generic benchmarking. It is the most difficult, but also can lead to breakthrough innovations.
One of the keys to benchmarking is to select a process and follow it.
There are a number of good processes available -- the Xerox 10-step (described
during the presentation), the AT&T 12 step program, IBM's 16 steps and
Weyerhaeuser's 33 steps, among others. They all have fundamental steps in
Data Collection
Data Analysis
Adaptation, Implementation and Improvement Set goals
Although the process looks deceptively simple, a number of misunderstandings and problem areas have been uncovered by firms actively benchmarking. By understanding where others have had trouble, you can take steps to avoid similar situations.
Some of the misunderstandings surrounding benchmarking can prevent
companies from considering benchmarking. If benchmarking is undertaken, some
of the myths can lead to problems which, if not taken care of, can sabotage
the results.
Benchmarking is:
the same as competitive assessment.
Competitive assessment is the macro analysis of a company within
its industry to be used as input to strategic planning.
Benchmarking focuses at a lower level within a company and is done
to improve processes. Also, benchmarking has a broader external
view, breaking outside the company's own industry.
just copying.
Just copying leads to being the same. Benchmarking's goal is to
find breakthrough ideas which set the process ahead of others.
Although metrics are a key aspect, benchmarking focuses on
improving the process and uses metrics to determine the how well
it is succeeding.
geared only to manufacturing.
Manufacturing processes are more clear cut, with visible inputs
and outputs. However, many of the great successes are in the
indirect areas: purchasing, logistics, customer service, accounts
payable, etc..
impossible with direct competitors.
Although there are areas that competitors can't share, there are a
large number of processes where they can. A "code of conduct"
should be strictly enforced when benchmarking competitors in order
to legally adhere to U.S. anti-trust laws.
These are primarily slanted to those with limited
benchmarking experience.
Plan, organize and manage.
Benchmarking is a complex and time consuming process and must be
recognized as such. Without detailed planning the process will
collapse on itself. As in any business undertaking, goals,
metrics and performance monitoring are management musts to achieve
Set realistic time frames.
top management usually does not have a realistic idea of the time
involved for the full process. There are parts of the process
where you may have no control, e.g. a benchmarking partner which
you feel is critical is not available when you want to visit them.
Therefore, an honest appraisal at the beginning can eliminate
potential problems.
Understanding your process
Many companies have not mapped their process to determine all the
steps involved. Understanding the process is the foundation for
benchmarking and the ability to effectively implement significant
process change.
Focus your process.
Often the scope of the original selection is too large to be
adequately benchmarked in a reasonable amount of time. By
narrowing the focus, the benchmarking process becomes more
executable, both in logistics and time, and implementation is
Select a team.
Little change will take place unless those who have a stake in the
benchmarking process are actively involved. Since these are the
people who will implement any potential changes, having them
"bought in" in the beginning will smooth the way later.
Train the team.
The benchmarking team must understand the full process before
beginning in order to adequately plan, organize and manage the
process. Training is now widely available through a number of
The benchmarking process itself is generic. Identification of current
procurement and materials management benchmark practices and results will be
discussed during the presentation.
A listing of publications and organizations (including N.A.P.M.) for
help in benchmarking procurement and materials management processes will be
handed out during the presentation.
In an increasingly competitive world, companies must learn to
effectively use available tools to achieve breakthrough improvements. It is
encouraging to know that a growing number of companies across the country are
benchmarking. When used correctly, benchmarking can be a potent weapon to
increase productivity, quality and competitiveness to obtain and maintain
global prominence.

text: Well I just messed up horribly for the first time in months and oddly enough I don't feel that bad about it which makes me worry. I LOVE girl scout cookies and my sister ran into a crew when she went out to go tan. She is always trying to tempt me with junk food and throw me off plan and this time she suceed. When she walked into the house and handed me a box of thin mints I didn't even think about it and went straight into the kitchen and poured myself a cup of milk and ripped open a row and started eating. More than half a row later I realized that I just made a terrible mistake and stopped myself. I didn't freak out. I just wrapped up the remainder of the cookies and put them in the freezer. I wish I felt guilty but I don't. I know I'm going to be back on plan tomorrow. It's strange I feel like I should be freaking out more about this. :?:

In "The Agreement Dissection", Howard recalls that he said to Sheldon (in Stephen Hawking's voice), "I wish to discuss your theories of black holes". Meet me at the Randy's Donutsby the airport at 2:00 a.m." In the episode of this article, Hawking tells Sheldon, "Your thesis that the Higgs boson is a black hole accelerating backwards through time is fascinating."
Howard states in this episode that he owns only one belt. However, throughout the series he has been seen with a number of different belts, including piano keys, studs, and various other designs, as well as simple belts of various colors.
Howard: I want you to tell me I'm good at what I do.
Sheldon: You're obviously good at what you do.
Howard: Then why are you always ripping on me?
Sheldon: Oh, I understand the confusion. I have never said that you are not good at what you do; it's just that what you do is not worth doing.
Penny: Why are you washing Howard's man-panties?
Sheldon: 'Cause if I don't he won't give my paper to Stephen Hawking. He's a famous physicist—
Penny: Yeah, yeah, I know. He's the wheelchair dude who invented time.
Sheldon: Close enough.
Penny: I see that twinkle in your eye when someone says "who" instead of "whom" or thinks the moon is a planet.
Sheldon: Or Don Quixote is about a donkey named Hotay.
Mrs. Wolowitz: (inside the fitting room) Sheldon! I need your help!
Sheldon: What is it now, Mrs. Wolowitz?

In summary, Mr. Market has delivered a rude wake-up call, and the month of May has been a painful reminder of how humbling the investment business can be.
Tactically, I plan to sit tight with my current positions (about 50% net long exposure) and to wait out the increasingly emotional backdrop of fear and loss of investor confidence.
Based on their relationship to corporate profits, sales, private market values and interest rates, stocks are inexpensive and, from my perch, provide a floor to equities. Indeed, relative to interest rates (government and nongovernment), equities have rarely been so cheap. We are back to the elevated risk premiums that existed all the way back in 1975 -- the following two years resulted in +30% and +20% yearly returns in the S&P 500. Risk premiums are even higher than at the generational low in March 2009! A longtime acquaintance (whose input I value) reminded me over the weekend that depending upon which interest rate one uses, "the equity risk premium today is 2.0-2.5 standard deviations above its long-term mean and lies at the third-highest level in the last 52 years."
As the wise man once said, though probably not referring at the time to Mr. Market: "This too shall pass."

I've been doing a little reading and want to make sure I understand correctly what effect my AAoA has on my credit score, and what my two new credit card's effect will be.
I understand its 15% of your total score. Also I read that FICO always rounds down with credit history, and AAoA from 1 month to 23 months counts as 1 year credit history. That is correct, right?
So back in July I opened a new Discover and my TU was 725. Before I opened my brand new AMEX & Freedom cards, I checked myFICO TU/Equifax scores, both about 705/708ish.
I also have 8 various Federal student loan accounts averaging from 4mo to 2yr 4mo age. CK shows my Average Account Age is 1yr 1mo before I opened the two new CCs, so I'm sure I'll have like a 9-10mo Average Account age when the new accounts hit.
This shouldn't affect my score though because I'll still show 1 year AAoA right (I know I'll still get a temporary ding due to HPs and new accounts)? And I shouldn't expect to see a score increase due to AAoA increase until I cross to 24mo average age right?
Also does anyone know a ballpark scoring difference between a 1yr, 2yr etc. AAoA?
Several questions, but it seemed like good info and I couldn't really get a solid answer from searching.
CK only factors in open accounts. FICO factors in all accounts, open or closed, good or bad.
You can figure it out yourself. Go from the date opened of your accounts to the current date. Figure out the number of months for each one. Add all those up, convert to years and you will have it.
Yes, AAoA does round down.
As for scoring, not exactly sure when you move from one age bucket to the other. But, as with anything credit, your score will depend on your entire credit profile.

Luckily for me anyway I don't have any closed accounts (I'm 22, just started building credit in the last couple years, so I haven't closed anything yet), so CK is accurate for now.
I mostly just kinda wonder what effect my bad AAoA has on my score. I have low utilization, no baddies, good payment history, decent total credit line. Really I would assume the only thing pulling my score down is my handful of HPs, new account dings, and AAoA. Makes me wonder what would happen when I cross into the next age bracket.

For millions of unemployed Americans, it seems like the longer they're out of work, the harder it is to find a job. Various studies and articles have also shown that employers often prefer to hire employed job candidates over unemployed ones. But now, results of a new survey are actually claiming the opposite; that unemployed job seekers are even more likely than their employed counterparts to find jobs.
The research, conducted by London-based YellowCat Recruitment, found that:
- Eighty-two percent of out-of-work job seekers reported having a recent job interview, compared to only 51 percent of employed job seekers.
- Fifty-two percent of unemployed job seekers reported having one interview in the past month, compared to 32 percent of employed job seekers.
- Thirty percent of unemployed job seekers reported having two or more interviews in the past month, compared to 19 percent of employed job seekers.
Adam Richardson, the firm's head of communication, believes that the shift is due to a new attitude on the part of employers. "Although it is true to say that being in a job gives you the security required to be flexible about your job search, it is no longer such a large obstacle when it comes to finding a new position," Richardson said in a statement. "During the economic downturn many strong candidates were made redundant so therefore have valid and understandable reasons for being out of work. Because of this, employers are no longer as skeptical about candidates who are not currently employed."
Yet despite these encouraging results, much of the unemployed population may disagree with the survey's findings, based on their own experience. And regardless of whether or not employment status helps or hinders job-search efforts, unemployment definitely presents its own set of challenges to job seekers.
Richardson himself acknowledges these challenges, saying in a statement, "Being in work helps you keep in the loop when it comes to your industry and will make spotting future opportunities much easier."
So how can unemployed applicants be sure to put their best foot forward in a job search? Here are a few tips:
Stay in the loop. Like Richardson mentioned, being out of the loop can be a hindrance in a job search. Even though you are unemployed, be sure to keep up with the latest trends and changes in your industry. Subscribe to trade publications, follow industry leaders on Twitter, comment on relevant blogs and set up RSS feeds on key topics in your industry to help you stay in the loop.
Keep confidence up. A job loss can be damaging to self-confidence, especially since many of us base a large part of our identity on our occupation. Yet being unemployed doesn't mean that you should be resigned to feeling worthless. Volunteering at a local organization or at your child's school, taking a class online or at a local community college, finishing your degree or setting a fitness goal for yourself are all ways to keep your confidence up during your search. After all, when else are you going to get the opportunity to get that Six Sigma black belt (or one in karate, for that matter)? Plus, your persistence will be sure to impress interviewers when they ask what you've been doing during your unemployment.
Decide to stay positive. Though unemployment is certainly one of the most difficult obstacles a person can face, making the decision to stay positive is one of the most important factors in overcoming the obstacle. Believing that you will get a job, finding joy and gratitude in other areas of your life, talking to family and friends and taking positive steps toward your goal will make you feel more encouraged and energetic during your search. Your positive outlook will also make you a much more appealing applicant to employers.
What do you think about employment status and job interviews? Do you think unemployed people really have a better chance at landing interviews, is it the other way around or doesn't it matter?

For nearly 80 years, the Couri family has owned and operated Couristan rugs. Their humble beginnings came in New York City when the Couri Brothers was established as a direct importing business specializing in fine handmade area rugs from Persia. Back in the 1920's this was no easy task, as the round trip to Persia took nearly two months of travel!
Early in their business, the Couri Brothers began labeling their imports with their name and the 'stan' suffix that was popular in Turkish towns, and thus a legendary rug company was born.
As decades flew by Couristan broadened their offerings to include imports from China, India and Pakistan. The Couri brothers continued growing their trendsetting business venture to meet the growing demand for handmade Oriental area rugs throughout America. By the mid 1960's the company's technological advances enabled them to produce power-loomed rugs inspired by the original Persian designs for a fraction of the cost. Thus, once again, Couristan led the international rug market to new heights.
As their business grew, Couristan quickly became a household name, and continues to be an innovative force in today's competitive rug market.

Snooki Before 'Jersey Shore': Rare Footage (VIDEO)
Believe it or not, Jersey Shore charmer Snooki didn't emerge fully formed as the perfect media sensation that she is today—that sort of thing takes practice.
Exhibit A: This newly unearthed snippet of the 2009 MTV show Is She Really Going Out With Him?, which chronicles the guidette's complicated relationship with her then-boyfriend, Justin. In the clip, Snooki (born Nicole Polizzi) is described as a "Garden State princess and aspiring veterinarian" who "has a passion for animals." (Please, no jokes about her dating history.)
Alas, her relationship with Justin isn't as blissful as it would at first seem: In addition to her beau's unseemly tendency to let his naughty bits hang out, he also tends to refer to Snooki as "a boy" and "a midget." Ouch!

CAIRO - A Muslim lawsuit is seeking to hold the FBI and State Department officials accountable for complicity in torturing a US Muslim for refusing to work as an informant.
"Our nation's leaders must be held accountable if they use foreign proxies to violate the constitutional rights of American citizens," Gadeir Abbas, Staff Attorney at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who is co-counsel in the lawsuit, said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net.A lawsuit was filed by Yonas Fikre, a Sudanese man of Eritrean descent, in the US District Court in Oregon against the FBI for $30 million and several injunctions for his mistreatment in custody in 2011.
US Muslims Sue FBI for Border Profiling |
He says in his lawsuit that US agents were angry when he refused to cooperate as an informant in 2010.
The suit says that the government put Fikre on the no-fly list and used that classification to keep him overseas.
US agents also appeared to be standing by in 2011 as Fikre was brutalized when police officers from the United Arab Emirates blindfolded him and interrogated him.
He says that police in Abu Dhabi mimicked some of the same questions previously posed to him by the FBI agents.
"(Fikre) thus inquired whether his confinement and mistreatment was at the request of the FBI," according to the lawsuit.
"On each such occasion, the interrogators responded by beating plaintiff severely."
The lawsuit names Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of State John Kerry, FBI Director Robert Mueller, FBI Terrorism Screening Center director Timothy Healy and two Portland-based agents, David Noordeloos and Jason Dundas.
This is not the first time for Fikre's case to come to light.
Last year, CAIR called on the US Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to investigate Fikre's claims that he was beaten on the soles of his feet, kicked and punched, and held in stress positions while interrogators shouted questions similar to those posed to him by FBI agents and other American officials.
Muslim Dilemma
Accusing the FBI of denial of citizenship rights, Fikre is the fourth man from Oregon to accuse the agency of detaining and torturing him.
We want this practice to be exposed and stopped, Tom Nelson, Fikre's attorney, was quoted as saying by Russia Today.
Two other Oregon Muslims have also said they were held overseas and were asked to become informants by Portland-based FBI agents. Both men have returned to Oregon.
Earlier this week, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected government efforts to dismiss that case.
Over the past two years, the FBI has placed at least five men with affiliations to Masjed As-Saber, Oregon's largest mosque, including its longtime religious leader, on the nation's no-fly list.
The unexplained actions are aggravating the FBI's already poor relationship with the mosque and fueling fear and frustration among Muslims.
CAIR has previously called on the DOJ to investigate acts of "coercion and intimidation" allegedly used by the FBI's Portland Field Office to pressure Muslim citizens into giving up their constitutional rights if they wished to return to the United States from overseas.
In 2011, CAIR filed a lawsuit against the DOJ and the FBI seeking a court order to allow a Virginia Muslim teenager who had been detained in Kuwait and placed on a US government no-fly list to return to the United States.
Released in Sept. 4, 2011, Fikre had been placed on the US no-fly list, and could not return to Oregon.He is currently seeking asylum in Sweden because he fears what US officials may do to him if he returns.

Important Global Message
The Miami-Dade County Portal will be undergoing maintenance starting at 11 p.m. Saturday, May 3 and for all of Sunday, May 4. Intermittent outages may be experienced. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your patience as we improve our online services.
Foster Parent Program
Sometimes an animal comes into this shelter who is not yet ready to be adopted, but can benefit from spending time in a private home.
In order to save the lives of these animals, the shelter keeps a list of qualified, competent individuals who fill the gap between "intake" and "adoption ready." These wonderful volunteers save lives by caring for the animals in their own home, giving food, medicine, love, and socializing the animal until ready for adoption.
Becoming a foster parent means opening your home and your heart for just a short time. Fostering can be for as short as one week, to several weeks, depending on the animal.
For more information on fostering, please email Lubia Rodriguez at email@example.com or call 305-418-7159.
Requirements for Fostering
- Must attend a Foster Orientation.
- Orientations are held at the shelter every Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
- Orientation typically lasts half an hour, plus a tour of the facility. If we match you to a foster pet on that day, your stay will be a little longer.
- Complete the foster application.
- Must be able to bring the animal back to Animal Services every two weeks for vaccine boosters and de-worming, if necessary.
- Must be able to transport animals to outside adoption events as needed.
- Must be able to return the animal for out-of-state transports when required.
- Pets residing in the home must be current on vaccines, and all dogs in the home must be over 1 year of age.
For more information on fostering, please email Lubia Rodriguez at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 305-418-7159.

Gymnastics exercise in which the athlete leaps over a form that was originally intended to mimic a horse. At one time, the pommel horse was used in the vaulting exercise, with the pommels (handles) removed. The sanctioning body for gymnastic sport, the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), decreed in 2001 that a vaulting table would be introduced to replace the horse. In men's vaulting the height of the table is 1.35 m (4.43 ft) from the floor; for women, the height is 1.20 m (3.94 ft). A Reuther board, a type of springboard, is placed in front of the near end of the apparatus. The gymnast runs, gathers momentum while nearing the apparatus, rebounds off the springboard, and, supporting the hands on the apparatus, vaults over it and performs an acrobatic maneuver.

Churches in Cleveland are now armed against crime in their congregations. This week 10 people were sworn in as special church deputies by the Bradley County Sheriff's Department.
These deputies now have the same rights as any law enforcement officer while protecting people within the walls of their church. While their presence will be felt, they won't be seen unless something happens.
"For quite a long time now we have had someone in every service and we have people that roam the halls and parking lots during our services and we've done that for quite a while," says Mike Sharp, Vice Chairman of Deacons at First Baptists Church.
Now churches across Bradley County are catching on. The Sheriff's department had its first 10 church deputies sworn into service.
Armed citizens will now sit in their regular services ready to protect their congregation.
"Those that are in this program, while conducting their work they are full time authorized licensed personnel that have gone through state mandated training," says Bradley County Sheriff Tim Gobble.
Sheriff Gobble says the decision to keep these deputies anonymous is up to the churches.
"Here at our church you aren't going to see anyone armed, they are dressed for church they are here to worship and that's exactly what they are doing," says Mike Sharp.
"If we have an active shooter situation like we have seen in places across the country then this person will be able to act quickly and save lives," says Tim Gobble.
The program got started after two people were shot to death inside a Knoxville church last August.
More recently, the images of an Illinois congregation mourning over the shooting death of their pastor have made people like John Hensley support the program.
"I do believe that we should be able to come to a place of worship and worry about what we are doing rather than sit here and worry about our safety," says John Hensley, Central Church of Christ.
Sheriff Gobble says officers not only had weapon training but basic first aid, and situation response training. Church members who are already law enforcement officers are also included in this program.
